A Reddit user named M_S_1 shared several images that imagined the covers of PS4 and PS5 titles as PS1 games. A few images feature the official cover of that particular game, but others have different pieces of artwork. M_S_1 uploaded 16 images largely consisting of first-party games with a few popular third-party titles. The post begins by showingNate and Sam fighting off pirates inUncharted 4: A Thief’s End, followed byBloodborne,Death Stranding, and two covers forGhost of Tsushima.

Other prominent first-party AAA games likeGod of WarandThe Last of Us Part 2are also included. In terms of third-party titles, M_S_1 decided to featureResident Evil Village,Red Dead Redemption 2, andYakuza: Like a Dragonamong others. Fans will notice several neat details in these images, such as the oldSony Computer Entertainment logobefore it was renamed Sony Interactive Entertainment. The user also made sure to include the correct ESRB rating of many of these games, and the covers look more authentic as a result.
Users in the comments showed their appreciation and love for the covers, with one mentioning that theBloodborneimage looks like a proper PS1 cover. On the other hand, one fan suggested that M_S_1 demake the artwork and lower the quality, at least for each game’s logo. Another player posted a funny comment wondering how many disks each game would require, as many modern titles take up a lot of storage space. In another comment, M_S_1 said that theUnchartedcover was their favorite and the one featuringReturnalwas their least favorite.
